The article depicts various types of reading used at ESP lessons as well as the aims and the necessity of using evaluation system for the reading skill. As teaching ESP, students are implied working with texts most of the time of the lesson. Therefore, the developing students’ reading competence becomes vital. This denotes the usage of adequate evaluation system for ESP students’ reading skills. Moreover, based on ESP materials and taking into account different reading techniques various evaluation students’ foreign language reading competence techniques are described as well. Hence, to help teachers in compiling and using appropriate reading tests, some criteria for defining the level of ESP students’ reading competence and test designing are described with the examples of reading test exercises. Methods, described in the article, provide the reader with the information when and how to use the assessment material: at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the course depending on the aims the teacher is targeting at. In addition, the article covers practical test results used at ESP lesson for the students of “Psychology” and “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science” faculties. Everything touched in the article could be valuable for other ESP teachers and scholars to implement in their further work with their students.

Мақоласида ESP дарсларида ишлатиладиган ўқишнинг турли йўналишлари, шунингдек, ўқиш кўникмаларини баҳолаш тизимидан фойдаланишнинг мақсади ва зарурлиги тасвирланган. ESP ўқувчиларини ўқитиш дарснинг кўп қисмида дарслар билан ишлашни ўз ичига олганлиги сабабли, ўқувчиларнинг ўқиш қобилиятини ривожлантириш жуда муҳимдир. Бу ESP талабалари учун ўқишни баҳолаш тизимидан фойдаланишни англатади. Бундан ташқари, ESP материаллари асосида ва ўқишнинг турли усулларини ҳисобгаолган ҳолда, талабаларнинг чет тилида ўқиш кўникмаларини баҳолашнинг турли усуллари тавсифланган. Шундай қилиб, ўқитувчиларгатегишли ўқиш тестларини ишлаб чиқишда ва улардан фойдаланишда ёрдам бериш учун, ESP ўқувчиларининг ўқиш ва тестларни ишлаб чиқишда ваколат даражасини аниқлашнинг баъзи мезонлари ҳар бир ўқиш топшириғи учун вақт чегараси бўлган тест машқлари ёрдамида тасвирланган. Мақолада тасвирланган усуллар ўқувчига баҳолаш материалини қачон ва қандай ишлатиш тўғрисида маълумот беради: дарснинг бошида, ўрталарида ёки охирида, ўқитувчининг ўзи қўйган мақсадларига қараб. Бундан ташқари, мақолада “Психология” ва “Амалий математика ва информатика” факультети талабалари учун ESP дарсларида қўлланилган амалий тест натижалари ва уларнинг ушбу тестга қандай муносабатда бўлиши муҳокама қилинади. Хулоса қилиб айтадиган бўлсак, ушбу мақолада муҳокама қилинган мавзу талабалар билан ишлашда бошқа ўқитувчилар ва тадқиқотчилар учун фойдали материал бўлиши мумкин.
В статье говорится о различных видах чтения, используемых на уроках английского языка для специальных целей (ESP). Также описываются цели и задачи использования системы оценки навыков чтения. Поскольку обучение студентов английскому языку для специальных целей подразумевает работу с текстами, то большую часть времени у преподавателя уходит на развитие навыков чтения студентов. Следовательно, прежде чем приступать к работе с текстами, необходимо сначала провести тестирование для того, чтобы определить уровень навыка чтения. Исходя из этого, на основе материалов ESP и с учетом различных методов чтения автор описывает различные способы оценки навыка чтения на иностранном языке. Таким образом, чтобы сориентировать преподавателей в составлении и использовании соответствующих тестовых материалов по чтению, в статье приводятся критерии для определения уровня компетенции учащихся ESP в области чтения, а также показаны примеры тестовых упражнений. Методы, описанные в статье, предоставляют читателю информациюо том, когда и как использовать оценочный материал, а именно: в начале, в середине или в конце курса, в зависимости от целей, которые ставит перед собой преподаватель. Более того, в работе рассматриваются результаты практических тестов, использованных на уроке ESP для студентов факультетов «Психология» и «Прикладная математика и информатика». Подводя итог,можно также отметить, чтозатронутая тема в данной статьеможет стать полезным материалом как для исследователей в области ESP, так и для преподавателейиностранных языков.
